Ok I'm throwing mine in, cause we gotta keep this thread going! (maybe we could deal with some non-green smoothies too? :D)
Blueberry+ Morning Smoothie
1 banana
1 c blueberries (pref. frozen)
1...
I am really happy with my results today. The recipes turned out great, and they are actually tasty AND healthy. Amazing I know. Also note, these puddings can be used as a filling for pumpkin pies!...
I don't understand why anyone would try and debate this. This is a scientific fact, established, proven, done.
However that has no bearing on whether or not we should be vegan today. It's silly...
Vitamix and Blendtec are the two most popular 'nearly professional' blenders, but they both run over $200...
Hey all,
I have been undergoing a major effort to clean up my food intake, and I have been having the most trouble with my sweet tooth. To help with cravings (pie) I am trying to find healthy pie...
Soy custard?
Man I wish we had that selection here. They just got rid of the soy creamer at the local grocery, downhill selection all the time it seems.
Here is a recipe I have had luck with,...
Oh you Brits! Coldstone is a ritzy ice cream restaurant franchise here in the US. Very unhealthy (high fat, high sugar) ice creams, but amazing taste. I am trying to copy their vanilla milkshake...
...Similar to Coldstone consistency but vegan of course. I am thinking of using coconut milk in place of cream and vanilla soymilk in place of regular milk. My problem is that I am having to add too...
It sounds like it would have a good texture (most likely due to the fats in coconut milk) but how do you manage do deal with the OVERWHELMING taste of coconut that must have?
Yum! Any ideas on how much sugar to use? And have you ever used arrowroot, agar agar, corn starch, or xanthan gum in your recipes? Anyone else?
Abolitionist, sadly.
A diet that is different than what our bodies have evolved on is obviously an inferior diet. No humans ever got B12 from not washing their veggies, that's a ludicrous idea. Humans need B12, B12 can...
Being vegan eliminates over 1/2 of the products in a grocery store, if not more. So the '4 eliminated foods' is BS.
There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong (nutritionally) with eating wild salmon or...
81% of this forum is goofy.
The more foods you eliminate from your diet the more you need to make sure you are getting your nutrients. So a fruitarian really needs to worry, a raw vegan should...
Potential problems with lots of greens (LOTS)
1. Too much fiber in the diet, can cause digestion issues and interfere with some mineral absorption.
2. So many filling greens means you don't have...
I never really understood the difference between carob and cocoa and cacao....
Dumb article, but he has a point about people failing themselves. It's a struggle in life, just like smoking or drinking or gambling or shopping or any other vice. His message was obviously a...
Free range, grass fed beef is actually not terrible for the environment. That's the best argument I have seen so far.
Also if you live in a country where it's impossible to live vegan (some Asian...
Fruit, and lots of it!
Also cereal can be addictive for me....
Exactly, it's just one more hassle to make sure you are being a 'good' vegan...
Yeah I have had to give up some things (cereals, random dirty carb foods, sodas) but I think it's worth it. My food cravings have gone down as well, and there isn't really a negative side-effect to...
La Junta? I am originally from Canon City! (in Denver now)
Yes I recently eliminated all products that list 'sugar' as an ingredient, unless I know it's from a good source. A 1 in 4 chance of...
Ok I figured I would answer some of my own questions (after experimenting today) in case someone finds this thread and has the same questions I did.
1. Can I use rolled oats for making oat milk,...
Thanks!
Anyone else make their own milks?
Sorry, but I have lots of them. :) I am trying to minimize my soy intake these days (yeah yeah yeah) but I am a stingy bastard who would rather not pay MORE than the already high prices of soy milk....
I'm changing my answer to this. :D
The salt question is very wrong. The new recommended sodium intake is 1500mg, which would equate to about 3000mg for salt intake. They really should fix that..

Sometimes I wonder how many women are turned off by my veganism...
"...366 of the participants said they were vegetarian - although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.."
Hi all,
I was just wondering what everyone would recommend to me as a good 'diet' book. By diet, I mean a book that talks more about the psychology and emotional reasons for overeating, not...
Hi all.
I am wondering if there are any major hair/body brands out there (toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, etc.) that maybe aren't certified cruelty-free and vegan, but just happen to be. Like, I...
My girlfriends roommate had 3 of em. ANNOYING AS HELL. At night they would make this ratcheting noise (yes, like a ratchet). They stunk, and they would always try to escape if you let them out of...
Without MSG we wouldn't have other amazing things like Ramen!
Oh wait....
:S
I wanted to tell an ED story from an addiction perspective, similar to how one would tell a story about drug addiction. I think exposure to ED stories could help people see how serious it can be.
...
Also, please make sure you are recording everything you eat and the nutrients you are getting, since that is especially difficult on a raw diet.
Just throwing in my input for what would be healthy in a low-carb diet...
Tofu
Nuts
Seeds
Hummus
Tempeh
Also samariah, you do know that almond milk is a rather high carb food, right? :)
If you are lifting/building, then throw a scoop of protein powder in there, and it's even better! :)
Hahahaha, touche sir!
